      Sadly it’s the other way around. Tree stumps are nothing but small rock formations. How disappointing.

    Those giant trees had to be cut because the earth was risking turning upside down from the weight.

    Giant earth theory is wild. I followed a guy on Reddit who had some absolutely insane videos “teaching” the subject. He also thought multiplication was a lie because if you do 5x5 by counting your fingers 5 times you still only have 5 fingers.

      I’d say he’s trolling but Terryology is apparently serious so anything goes, some people will gaslight themselves into anything.

      Or maybe he’s just amazing at the bit. He is an actor…

        In every dumb movement you have the tucker carlsons that say shit they don’t belive in, the trumps completely demented even lower iq and truly believe those things they say. And who ever the hell are the monkeys that whatch it.

        If he was an actor he was performing for an insanely small audience. This guy was legit some of his videos were years old with less than 10 views.

      But like… so what? What does this add to the flat earth “theory”? Like, okay there were really, really big trees once. Now what?

      I know I’m looking for logic where it doesn’t exist, but this really baffles me.

        I’ll see if his YouTube channel is still up so you can get the crazy sauce straight from the tap. Be warned, it is difficult to find a cohesive thought let alone any logic.

    🤔 This is honestly evidence that the universe is mathematical, that the shapes of trees and mountains are formed under similar mathematical rules despite being different sizes and materials.

    Like galaxy formation and brain cells also look similar and that’s ostensibly the reason why so it stands to reason why this would be a thing.

      I remember someone posting a Neil Degrasse Tyson video and he was interviewing a guy talking about finding equations at the root of the physical world.

      Neil seemed blown away, but isn’t mathematics just our interpretation of the natural laws of the universe?

      Like reading Cliff’s Notes and then the actual book and saying “hey these are similar!”

        Good job with pointing that out. I think you are correct. I still feel the same wonder at it though. Gets me right in the pickle. I like to think about tree “experience” and stuff too. So many different ways to be and do in this universe. Understanding the world through math is batshit wild and I wonder what method a giant armillaria mellea uses to understand the world.

      fractals baby, it’s all procedurally generated here in the matrix.

      and there’s a valid query regarding the world as simulation. but to take the leap from ‘this geology shares properties similar to this stump’ to 'damn, that was a big tree that grew out in the middle of this desert… well that takes drugs kids.

      Is a quasar not just a giant chain saw? Are spiral galaxies not just giant sawblades? It’s giant trees all the way down, baby. Checkmate, Arborists.

      No need to overthink a meme, but here’s my guess.

      They’re correlating the shapes of the objects, implying some causation.

      There isn’t.

      Just be happy that you don’t get it. There are flat earthers out there who will say it unironically. Not sure if it’s only flat earthers but I think so. It really is wild

    My dataset says there is a one to one relationship between mountains and stumps (n=3). Infinite-Power.jpg.gif
